The Story so far...
Steven Kirkpatrick
Founder
Trouver Consulting was established to bring practical leadership experience to founders navigating growth, complexity and change.
Steven Kirkpatrick has led and scaled some of the UK’s most established and high-performing recruitment businesses over the past two decades. He spent more than a decade leading the UK & Ireland operations of one of the country’s largest recruitment organisations, overseeing sustained expansion and structural development across multiple markets.
Across his career, he has set up, scaled, restructured and acquired specialist businesses spanning technology, education, healthcare, procurement, engineering and executive search.
His experience includes traditional 360 models, digitally enabled delivery structures, embedded RPO teams and complex contingent workforce solutions — both onsite and offsite.
Trouver Consulting was created to apply that experience in a focused advisory capacity.
The firm works from a founder’s perspective — understanding equity risk, capital allocation and long-term value creation — not simply short-term opportunity.
Steven acts as a strategic advisor and mentor to founders building people-led and technology-enabled businesses.
